Chipotle Turkey Chili

There are so many ways to make chili. This is a foolproof and much lighter version of basic chili. I had a bunch of veggies and ground meat that I needed to get rid of, so chili was a perfect way to do that. Not to mention, it is amazing as leftovers! But don't think because it is lower in calories that it is lower in flavor. It is very easy to add a ton of flavor to things like soups and stews but not all the extra calories with a lot of different spices. With this version I used chipotles, chili powder, cumin, coriander, and a little bit of smoked paprika. It turned out just wonderful to warm us up on a cold February day!
